I have yet to find a good way to get around this issue.
I want all my SMSs from Facebook to appear in a single thread on my phone (an Incredible running Skyraider 3.3.4 if it matters).
The only solution I have found is to add all numbers facebook uses (32665100-32665199) to one contact for my phone. But by default these show up as different threads since they are different numbers within a contact.
Is there anyway to either use a wildcard, or to combine them all into one thread for easy management?

Does anybody have the messages .apk from the original Magic rom? I'm running the JACheroski 2.7.4r2 Hero rom & it's great, but there's an issue with the messages that I can't quite figure out; It's not just this rom, but every hero rom I've used -- Basically the time on all my messages is correct, but whoever I'm talking to their message is marked 4 hours earlier than they actually sent it. This makes the organization a real pain, since it organizes them based on when they were sent, so all their messages are grouped together before all mine instead of the order they were actually sent.
Does anybody have the .apk of the original messages app (preferably for Rogers)? Or even better, a solution to this problem?
And secondly, does anybody have the .apk of the original Magic photo album? I like to be able to have separate albums whereas with the Hero album it's just all my pictures grouped into "All photos".
All Rogers magic users have the 4 hour thing. Actually, it's on other phones, just easier to fix.
There is no absolute fix for it yet.
Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, feel free to move my topic.
On my Android phone (Motorola Milestone) I have several apps that integrate into Contacts: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, LastFM.
Android makes a good effort in merging the contacts automatically, or I can merge them manually. Some people compain about the automatic merge and I know about the bug reports, but for me it's good enough.
What bothers me however, is that I cannot set what type of contact has "priority". For example, I have a merged contact that consists of a Gmail contact (containing full name, address, phone, email), a Twitter contact (containing nickname, full name, profile pcture) and a Facebook contact (containg full name, phone, email, profile picture). In the Android contacts list this person may be shown as either with his full name or his nickname. It is completely random. I have not found a way to force this merged contact to be shown with full name. I just want an option to say "this person is called X, dammit".
Any ideas?
I'm sorry but... *bump* ?
same here.
It is driving me crazy.
Any solution?

Would love to get a fix for this too!!

I'm now running Froyo on my Milestone, but I still haven't found a way to do this.
Yet another *bump*
I'm going to try something incredibly dirty: install the .apk of the HTC contacts app, because this allows to set the visible name.
Is there no app on the market that allows easy editing of contacts?
Anyone tried any apps and if so then why not post the app name and whether it was useful or otherwise. That could help everyone else trying to solve their contacts cloud issues.

Well I am an Android migrant as of last week and I am loving the overall experience, especially the large community of savvy developers.
Now regarding Sense and it's pesky contact book sync issues.
First issue is, I don't want any of my Google contacts syncing with my phonebook or any part of my phone for that matter as I don't maintain that address book. Second of all when I pull up the Phone application the entire list is populated with every one of my Facebook friends who has ever entered a contact number (including 1800suckmyballs).
I am looking for a solution to remedy this situation but also still be able to associate individual contacts with a Facebook profile. Anyone out there that knows the ins-and-outs of Sense better? Can you give me a hand?
Regards, Dom
I have an issue where if I have more than 1 contact info for a person then in my sms it doesn't show the persons name, just the number. I cannot have another number for a person or an email assigned without this occurring. Facebook sync attaches email addresses to contacts, so therefor I cannot use facebook sync without this bug. I have attached a couple pictures to better show this. Any way to fix this?
I am using Android 4.0.4, HTC Sense 4.1
Maybe this is a "feature?" His name is up at the top of the window, and they're letting you know which number its' coming from.
Just use a different SMS client.
This is how it's designed. It's so you know what number it's coming from when the contact has more than one. Seems like that's useful.
Hy there,
I hope I posted where I should and if I didn't please tell me the correct section where I should do this. Also, I am not a developer, I do not have root on my phone. I do not want solutions that require changing XML files or anything. I am just asking about an app that I could find in the Play Store, or, maybe, and apk to download (this being the second option)
I have a problem with the messaging app since I left my HTC One S for the Nexus 5X in June 2016 and I did not find an app to replace that, not even on my current Oneplus 5T.
So, I have a contact in my phonebook saved with multiple numbers - work / mobile / home etc. and she texts SMS from either of the numbers (doesn't really matter because they are included in the carrier plan as unlimited). But my messaging app is sorting those SMS as different entries by phone number, and not by contact. So if we start a conversation in a chat window based on the home number, the answer may end up in a different chat windows (she has a dual sim phone so it depends on the settings on which is right now, and because the SMSs are "free", she tends to not look at which carrier is using, because, why would you if they are all free?), but this actually disrupts the logical flow of the conversation.
I know that a such app exists because I used it on HTC One S in 2012 and I was able to send SMS to which number I wanted to select (home / mobile / work of the same contact from the phonebook) and I had all the conversation in only one place, but after I changed on Nexus 5X and now on OnePlus 5T I can not find this feature in the installed app messenger (Google's or Oneplus's), neither on Google searches or specialized websites. I have tested some of the SMS apps, looked for settings, but all of them seem to show the SMSs based on the phone number, and not based on the contact entries.
Can someone suggest an app that could do that? Maybe I didn't search good enough.
P.S. The MMS option to send grouped messages is not an option because this means I will send the same SMS to multiple numbers, but those numbers are of the same person so there is no need to do that ...
Thank you very much for Your answer.
